Bourbon Extract Vanilla Pairings
All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon.
Bourbon is regulated by the US government, and is made with specific instructions to qualify for use of the name, "Bourbon". One requirement is that bourbon must be made with at least 51% corn. This makes it sweet. Another requirement is that it must be aged in a brand new American oak cask. This makes it pure and unaltered from other spirits that may have been stored in a used cask. The result - a super sweet, rich and smokey whiskey with a natural vanilla, caramel and honey flavor that pairs beautifully with the vanilla beans listed here.
